Mitchell said one of the suspects kicked the door of the house to get inside while the other two stood in the front yard holding guns. They were unable to break through the door and left, speeding away in a black pickup.

Mitchell said a patrol officer spotted the truck a short time later on Spencer Highway. The officer attempted to stop the pickup, which had been reported stolen, but the driver refused to pull over.

The trio entered the Sam Houston Parkway and led police on about a 25-minute chase before the truck exited the Parkway and then crashed into a ditch on Mt. Houston near Danford, Mitchell said.

The three suspects jumped out of the disabled pickup and ran away. One of them was captured immediately and another was taken into custody a short time later.
